I think what we can all learn today is just smile and nod when we disagree with something we read online and just not respond to it.
Internet people aren't worth getting mad about. Hell, I don't even know if any of you are real.
Metalj, you've got to hang around for a bit and absorb a certain board's culture before going off on rants.
Just like any other social gathering spot, there are unwritten rules and tendencies that you should feel out before jumping straight in. Or would you fight a coworker on your first day at the job despite them being a xx year veteran?
Hold on to your butt and just listen for a while. I promise, you'll learn something.
Who is Cliffy?
OK...so I took the MP3 clip of the Tom roll and opened up in an Audacity (all I have on my net computer)...and this is what the file looks like:
View attachment 93132
The OP's images compared to what I have, suggest that he is zoomed into the wave and not the track.
It's not clipped hard, though maybe a pinch at the very tops....but I think if you listen to that clip, the problem is in the delay that is being used with the Toms....there is something there, it's not a straight drums/mic recording (listen to the tail).
I think that delay effect is blurring the transients and making it hard to identify them.
It's starting to smell like baby food and diapers.
Cool thank you, there is at least some definition there . So could you help understand the delay thing ? ARe you thinking that maybe the mics are too far away from the drum head when recording like the signal is coming through the mic delayed after the initial stick attack or do you feel it is the way my DAW is processing it? I have a message into a Presonus forum to see what comes up on the Zoom issue. My Daw is Studio One 2 Pro in case that matters.
Cliff Burton?
Maybe OP is Dave Mustaine
I stopped trying to make sense of anything this specimen says a while ago. He's completely delirious.
Who the fuck is cliffy?
I think he means you.
I think he thinks you're not fun.

Cliffy.
1) To remove the fun from a situation (especially a competitive game.)
You've already muddled up the thread, and it's not YOUR thread. This is a public forum. If you didn't want THE thread to go off the rails, you shouldn't have come in with guns blazing and then resort to your infantile "oh poor me. Mommy they're all picking on me" routine.if you guys would not mind, could you please not muddle up the thread anymore please ?
Listen to the tail....that's nothing to do with mics too close or too far....that's some kind of *delay FX*.
Are you applying any FX to the track(s) or is that MP3 you posted the original, raw recording?
Forget Presonus...just RTFM...there's a keystroke to zoom in/out of the wave, just like you keystrokes to zoom in/out of the track.
